My weight loss is at a stall too. I was losing a lot. and now I lose about 3lbs in a week.

My biggest worry still is eating. I would eat and 2 hours later I would have to eat again. I am eating full portions. Someone said more Protein but I at a chicken breast no skin, boneless last night and 1 1/2 hours later I wanted to eat again. So i had my Protein Shake and 1 horus after that I wanted to eat again. I know it is my stomach because it would hurt soooo much until I went to eat it. The hunger pains.

I am so worried about regaining my weight back because I can eat anything. well all that is on the list. I never got sick yet. Oh wait I did w hile cooking a turkey. Smell made me sick. But i never liked turkey anyways. But the food going down nothing makes me sick. I dont know if i am listening to my body when I am full or what.

Other issues is when chewing I chew my food a lot but if it gets too soggy or mushy then I am gagging. so i can't chew it that much. I try to chew at least 20x. But it does not take me an hour at all to eat. More like 10 -15 min. So that worries me. I worry I am stretching my stomach eating more solid foods.

Anyways else having this issues.

I wish I could help more Everything that I have eaten has went down without an issue. Sometimes after eating I'll get a "hairball" sensation where something feels like it's moving up my throat and pressing against my neck accompanied by a little bit of nausea. If I close my eyes and focus it goes away. That's really the only issue I've had.

I'm not feeling hunger pains but what I do feel is acid moving around my belly that makes it hurt. Sometimes it will happen after a meal and I'll drink some Water to settle it. I have meals portioned out through the day (which feel like snacks) but I realize that I'll make a point to eat the entire meal even after my stomach tells me to stop. I could have food easing up into my esophagus but I'm going to eat that last two bites. Leaving food on the plate and being satisfied is something I have to work on.

Have you broken through your weight loss stall? I finally went from 256 to 248 then my cycle came to visit on Thursday. When I weighed in at NUT's office yesterday I was 254. I was super bummed!

No still only losing a pound or so a week. I have no eating issues. As long as I don't chew forever. I try to take smaller bites. I still can't eat a cup per meal but I want to eat every 2 hours. Mine could be acid.

I feel bad because I have not been regular in taking my antacids. I had one of my sons move in and my hubby lost his job. So I can't afford the $100 a month for them. I am hoping next week I can

Aww Sassyprassy I'm so sorry to hear that. When I forget to take my Omeprazole I'll chew a Pepcid and it helps. They can be pretty pricey (about $12 for 25 and you can have 2 a day, I think) but it really helps with the discomfort.

Happy 3-month surg-iversary!

Does anyone still hang around the forums? My weight loss this month has been disappointing to say the least, but any loss is good. I have fibromyalgia and my body kills me at the end of the day so I've been using that as an excuse to get out of working out! I'm going to make that change tonight so I can see double digits next month. I'm losing inches and I'm almost in an 18 (started in a 22/24) and I'm at the point where people can notice a difference. I was late for work yesterday and instead of taking the elevator I ran up the stairs and noticed when I sat down at my desk I wasn't out of breath. Win!

Still having some issues with acid reflux but it's getting a little better. I have a strange taste in my mouth like burned rubber that comes and goes and I'm pretty sure it's coming from the acid production. I see my surgical team on Friday so I'll ask them about it. Otherwise everything has been pretty standard and uneventful.

How's everyone else doing?

Man this weekend was rough.. My husbands Aunt died and we had to go out of the town to pay our respects. So that means.... Restaurants.. First restaurant his family wanted to go to was Chinese food Buffet.. So $24.99 a plate and lots of grease later...... I am a bit sick.. I tried to stick with veggies and the meat that is mixed in it, but they cook that with lots of oils. So i had more salad than anything.. Just not filling plain old salad.

Ok then next day.. Well gee lets go to PIZZA... Soooooo here I go again. Hubby ordered medium pizza, deluxe, and I had one slice and I was done.. The place we stayed at was last minute so they had no groceries and it was too late to go shopping. So all morning I lived off cheese strings.. That was ok.. But I went to grocery store and got yogurt for my Breakfast the next day.. No Protein Premier in Montreal, Quebec that I seen. So i was a bit ticked. Anyways I weight myself today and from last week i lost over 10lbs.. How did that happen. I hav eno clue. I thought I would of gained it from this weekend..

I am also still having to eat every 2 hours. My stomach is in like lots of pain. hunger pain, and I just can't keep up with eating.. I am constantly making meals and having LOTS of left overs but how long do they last in fridge.. 2 days????

So how is everyone else doing with their WL.
